    What a beautiful game. The music, the visual art, the atmosphere.
    The best purchase this year, alongside with Unavowed and Pillars of eternity 2.

    Such a moving game, the music is top notch, i went to this game expecting it to be boring but at the end I had tears in my eyes. I read somewhere that this game is a representation of a girl who lost her best-friend and never got over her loss. The music alone got this game a 10/10

    Эта игра произвела на меня такое сокрушительное впечатление, что я два дня ходил с чувством пережитого откровения, которое было выше слов, выше анализа... Я даже не ожидал такого, я не был к этому готов, а ведь я взрослый человек, который повидал многое. Вообще в начале показалось: "ну да, красиво, но это же симулятор ходьбы"... Как же я был неправ, какое это было примитивное мнение,Эта игра произвела на меня такое сокрушительное впечатление, что я два дня ходил с чувством пережитого откровения, которое было выше слов, выше анализа... Я даже не ожидал такого, я не был к этому готов, а ведь я взрослый человек, который повидал многое. Вообще в начале показалось: "ну да, красиво, но это же симулятор ходьбы"... Как же я был неправ, какое это было примитивное мнение, основанное на неуместных сравнениях. Минут через 20 от него не осталось и следа. Кто переживает за геймплей - не беспокойтесь, по мере прохождения появляется кое-какая сложность. Но вообще эта игра не про набивание комбо на клавишах. Поймите, это искусство. Это высокая поэзия, исполненная в виде игры. Вы встречаете в ней такие образы и эмоции, что вам потом будет несколько дней стыдно и кисло от других игр. Кому кажется, что тут мало активностей - а что, надо было дать героине в руки плазмоган? Да прекратите, подобное звучит в данном контексте просто пошло. Эта игра - совершенно потрясающий опыт, который надо пережить. Отказаться от него - это обокрасть себя. Это шедевр. Он повлиял на меня. Мои сны захватил на несколько дней. Со мной такое было всего несколько раз в жизни.
    Не представляю, кому эта игра может не понравиться. Только если людям без сердца.

    Некоторые пишут с язвительностью, что вот мол игра является клоном "Journey" и "Ori". Господа хорошие, автор сам ни разу этого не скрывал и честно говорил об этом. Но есть определенная грань, отделяющая плагиат от развития идей. Если кто-то придумал рисовать красками, значит ли это, что никто больше не должен этого делать? Если кто-то написал сонет о любви или о смерти - только за ним осталось это право? Продать под своим именем чужую историю - величайшая подлость творца, но развивать чьи-то идеи, использовать изобретенные ранее приемы - это и есть природа искусства. Здесь автор запретную черту ни разу не пересекал, не юродствуйте. Эта история и эти образы уникальны.

    И еще. Этой игре никогда не нужен будет ремастер. Даже если ее запустят через тысячу лет, через десять тысяч – она будет такой же прекрасной и ее будут так же проходить с блестящими глазами, вы только вдумайтесь в это.    … Expand

    É um jogo INCRIVELMENTE incrível, com uma direção de arte e uma trilha sonora excelente, que deixa qualquer pessoa boquiaberta. GRIS possuiu uma historia, na qual se baseia na sua própria interpretação dos acontecimentos, e mesmo sem ter 1 dialogo, deixa qualquer pessoa emocionada. Esse jogo vale cada centavo, e para mim, é o melhor jogo do ano

    Anything I could say about the visuals, the sound design, the aptness of the analogy it's based around and the processes therein... it'd just ruin it. I implore you, for your own sake, to buy this game at full price, because the developers deserve every cent they get from this. Then play it. There is nothing else I can say without ruining it for you.

    Tek bir yayında biten, ortalama 3.30 saatlik oynama süresine sahip güzel bir oyun. Hikaye anlatımı, görseller ve müzikler muhteşem. Fakat hikaye anlatımının güzel olmasının yanında, hikayenin kendisi biraz eksik kalıyor. Fakat bu eksiği hikaye anlatımı, ses ve görüntüleri ile kapatmayı başarıyor.

    Second, the abstraction of the art style with brilliant use of the colour palette is better than Wassily Kandinski and others we won't mention. Granted, they copied, but proper modern art is standing on the shoulders of giants, and Nomada Studio has dnoe so masterfully.

    Third, the level design, and this is where this puzzle-platformer shines. It's always got you exploring, panning in and out of the main characters flat 2-D pixellisation. You don't know if you should go up or down, left or right, and it just accentuates the sense of vastness that this unique gem offers the player.

    Do yourself a favour, play this one. You won't be disappointed. If you are into artsy, breathy, simple puzzle platformers.    … Expand

    Relatively short but still good. It would get a higher score (at least a 9) if it was more complex in a sense of not only more levels but also more complex mechanics (exploration didn't feel that rewarding because of that lack of complexity but it was still great).

    Much better than expected! Thought this would be just an artsy game with almost no gameplay, something like a walking simulator, but instead, it actually was a good puzzle platformer, given its length. The puzzles are pretty creative and sometimes really cool. Towards the end, I found them a bit confusing, but overall, they were pretty great and use the art of the game wonderfully.

Apart from the main gameplay and objectives, there are also bonus, optional items that can be collected, which is a great addition.

    Speaking of art, that‘s definitely the highlight of the game. The visuals look really great, the way how the main character‘s looks change when using her abilities is just gorgeous and some levels have fantastic contrast and visual designs which look great on a big high contrast screen, like an OLED or similar. The music is equally great and contributes a lot of the emotions invoked by the game.

    The game is not perfect: At times, the colors on screen make it hard to figure out what is what. Also, the puzzles get a little too convoluted towards the end for my taste. Overall though, the game offers quite an unique, emotional and enjoyable experience, somewhat similar to Journey. Since it takes only about 3 to 4 hours, I would definitely recommend to give it a try, though I would not call it a must-play.    … Expand

    The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful as well, so I highly suggest buying it if you want some soothing ambiance playing in the background while you do other things.

    The reason why I only gave GRIS an 8 is because although it was a nice adventure, that's all it was. There wasn't really anything more to give it that "Wow!" factor. The game feels like an overall better version of FEZ, with similar mechanics but a better story and atmosphere.    … Expand

    I absolutely loved playing through this game, the art, music, and overall art direction is just so incredible. This game really is an artistic masterpiece. My only real gripes with it is that the real-world meaning of the game (overcoming grief) wasn't done as well as other parts of the game, and the platforming controls/physics engine didn't feel as good as other platformers I've played.

    Gris es un juego indie del equipo español de Nómada Studios.

    Lo primero que llama la atención es su estilo artístico a base de acuarelas, el paisaje y los distintos elementos y personajes que encontramos tienen un diseño impecable y precioso. Cada segundo del gameplay es una obra de arte que fusiona la música con los gráficos y la jugabilidad de una manera que no había visto antes.

    No tiene diálogos ni textos por lo que la historia queda completamente sujeta a nuestra interpretación de las distintas pistas que el juego nos coloca en el camino. Basándome en mi interpretación y la opinión de otras personas con las que he podido hablar de ello, la temática principal me resulta muy apropiada y le aporta un toque de sentimiento que puede llegar a conectar con muchos jugadores. Personalmente, me hubiera gustado que quedara mas claro en el juego y que no estuviera abierto a tanta interpretación.

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad, hay momentos en los que se juntan todos los elementos del juego y crean experiencias increíbles, sin embargo en otras ocasiones los puzzles o las plataformas suponen un inconveniente para la fluidez de la experiencia. Los controles y las mecánicas están muy bien diseñadas pero creo que el juego no tiene claro su objetivo a la hora de presentar los distintos niveles.

    En conclusión, es una experiencia de unas 4 o 5 horas, que reivindica la belleza en todas sus formas a la vez que nos plantea un mensaje emotivo (sujeto a interpretación).

    Lo recomiendo a cualquier persona, creo que todo el mundo puede y debería disfrutar de este juego.
